User Groups and Permissions

Settings

 

User Groups allow you to limit access to Users via Permissions.

What are the benefits of these settings?

 

As a SIX Administrator, you can control what access your Users have to features of SIX.

When to use these settings?

 

In a multi-user environment, it is often necessary to limit access to certain features within SIX. For example, you may not want some users to view pricing in the Catalog, or you might not want to grant QuickBooks transfer access to some users.

Details

 

The Manage User Groups form allows you to create User Groups and set permissions for each group.
